This workshop introduces a variety of ways to better understand and activate our energy body, including qigong, yoga, breathing, meditations, dancing, diets, and fengshui. It centers on guided practices and emphasizes the concrete applicability of the techniques. It also explores questions of why they work as they do from the perspective of both traditional Eastern thinking and modern Western science. It provides multiple methods leading to living fully as an energetic being, with strong internal stability and external flexibility in all of life’s situations.

Living Authentically brings together classical scholars of Daoism, professors of psychology, practicing psy-chologists, medical doctors, and alternative practitioners (acupuncturists, qigong healers, pedagogues, and counselors) in an exciting new journey of discovery. This fruitful venture, born during panels at several Daoist conferences, explores ways of living in the world, sustaining relationships, and educating children, in a stress-free, truly authentic way.
